Career and public life
Ted Evans joined the Australian Public Service in 1968, working in the Ipswich, Queensland branch of the Postmaster-General's Department.[1][2] Studying while working, Evans graduated with a Bachelor of Economics from the University of Queensland in 1969 with first class honours and the University Medal.[2][3] Upon graduation, Evans joined the Department of the Treasury.[2]
Evans was appointed Secretary of the Treasury in March 1993,[4] having previously been offered the job in 1991, and rejecting it.[5] He retired from the public service in April 2001, having served eight years as Treasury head.[1] Evans said that one of his proudest achievements as Secretary of Treasury was introducing the Taxation Review Board.[6]
After retiring from the public sector, Evans joined the Westpac board, serving as a board member between 2001 and 2011, and as chairman between 2007 and his retirement.[7]
In 2013, Evans was outspoken over the sacking of Martin Parkinson and three other public service Secretaries, saying that the Abbott Government was wasting good people and politicising the bureaucracy.[8]
Awards
In June 1999, Evans was made a Companion of the Order of Australia in recognition of service to Australian economic policy development.[9]
